Java lang.Long.reverse() method in Java with Examples


java.lang.Long.reverse() is a built-in function in Java which returns the value obtained by reversing the order of the bits in the two’s complement binary representation of the specified long value.

Syntax: 

public static long reverse(long num) 
Parameter :
num - the number passed
Returns : 
the value obtained by reversing the order of the bits in the 
two's complement binary representation of the specified long value.

Examples:



Input : 254 
Output : 9151314442816847872

Input : 8
Output : 1152921504606846976
